Summary
“The message we receive is clear, but if you look around at the people in your life, very few look like that.”The fall out, says Chan, is that people end up with low self-esteem, life threatening eating disorders, and a widespread, unhealthy diet culture. “Most people wouldn’t have any idea that I had disordered eating,” he says.When he sought treatment, Sheldon was prescribed diet pills, which did nothing to help. “My eating disorder just blew up,” Sheldon says.
